  1. 6 Questions to Prepare to Answer When Meeting with Potential PR Firms When meeting with a potential PR Firm Miami, it is important to prepare your questions in advance. However, it is equally important to be prepared for the questions they will ask you. True Public Relations Specialist will want to fully understand your business. They will also want to know why you are looking to outsource your public relations needs and the specific goals you hope to accomplish. As such, prior to sitting down with a potential PR specialist or firm, you should be able to clearly articulate key aspects of your business and your future goals. Whether you are looking to fulfill your needs for Public Relations in Miami, New York, Los Angeles, or anywhere in between, here are six questions you should be prepared to answer when meeting with prospective public relations representation. 1. Why are you looking for a Public Relations Firm? A general question like this is probably where the questioning will start. This question is broad

  2. and sets the stage to dig in deeper. The more specificity with which you can answer this question, the more it will facilitate a productive conversation. 2. What is your budget? You should answer this question honestly. It has a direct impact on the scale and scope of what the firm can provide. Make sure to really look at your financials prior to meeting so you know this number, as well as if you can stretch it depending on the firm’s pricing. 3. What expertise or services are you looking for and why are you outsourcing? Again, this question will give the PR firm insight into your business and your goals. This will also help them begin to understand how you envision a successful relationship with a Public Relations Specialist or firm working. 4. What will the scope of responsibility be for the agency you hire? This digs deeper into how you want to collaborate with the specialist or firm hired. Will they run everything for you? How involved do you want to be in the process? Will they need to run everything by you, or will they have free reign? 5. What is unique about your business and what sets you apart from your competitors? Genuinely effective marketing and public relations relies on communicating this exact aspect. This is a question that any public relations specialist should ask. 6. What is the size of your company in terms of employees and revenue? You may not be comfortable giving them this information, especially for an initial consideration, but you should share it with them if hired. It has everything to do with the complexity and scope of your business which, helps them understand it all the better.

  3. These questions and those along these lines are what you are likely to be asked by a thorough public relations specialist. Meeting with perspective professionals should feel like a two-way interview that leads to a deep discussion about your business, your goals, and how you imagine the professional helping you reach them. You should be wary of any meetings that do not get this deep. Public Relations Miami, or anywhere else, only works effectively if they truly understand what your goals and how you will work together to achieve them.
